| TWRoO said: But did VC require higher specs than III? because my laptop only runs the latter for some reason (well it does run GTAIII, but it seems to have a 75% chance it will crash shortly before I get to the garage for the first save.... and if it gets past that point, there is horrendous pop-up of objects (sometimes about 5 seconds AFTER I crash into them) and is still liable to crash at any given time. I am not interested in it's graphics, first of all they are quite ugly games even at their best, and second I can look past pretty much any poor graphics as soon as I start playing a game. I don't think I will risk it unless I see it really cheap... the same as I did with Vice City (I asked if the game would run in PC World, telling the guy that GTAIII didn't run well, and he suggested it very likely would not.... but I bought the game for £3 a couple of years later and it works fine) My laptop is over 5 years old now, and while it was a decent enough model back then it wasn't built for gaming. |
I think GTA III , VC and San Andreas all run on the same enging ( VC and SA are expansions after all) but there are definetley tweaks inbetween each , I think the inability to run GTA III but the ability to run VC might be a problem with your GFX card or your configuration .
VC is deffinetley a higher specced game than III is and SA is definetley higher specced than VC so the fact that you can run VC but no III shouldn't tempt you to buy SA.
I'm going to suggest something naughty here but you could download SA purely for the purpose of testing wether it will run on your PC and then purchase it once you're satisfied with the result . Probably technicaly illegal but I don't see anything wrong with it if you have no intention of ripping of the developer , you'd be doing it so you can buy the game.
